Sam Phone cords always twist in one direction. DNA has its twisting in
one direction. We now know why this is so. It took me years to figure
out why my 25 foot vacuum cleaner cord alway ended up with a figure 8
knot in the exact middle. Even little tricky stuff like a Mobius strip
can make you dizzy. We must never pass things off as "That's just the
way it is" Bert
